My husband is a traitor

Chapter 364 Retreat, Besieged

When Jiang Linlang led the people to the gate of the city, they found that the gate was under martial law. The deputy general guarding the city was surprised to see her, "Prime Minister's wife? Didn't you just leave the city with the prime minister? Why are you back?"

Hearing this, Jiang Linlang was also taken aback for a moment, but then she thought of——

There is an accident in the palace, now there is no leader among the dragons, Qi Lei and King Ruyang must be the ones in charge, the palace is in chaos, when the news comes out, it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest...

But now, it is obvious that the martial law is caused by the secret letter that Wen Rencheng took before and the assassins from Nanguo lurking in Beijing.

She frowned slightly, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Oh, the prime minister dropped an important document, I'll go back and get it." Jiang Linlang spoke calmly to the lieutenant general on horseback, "Open the city gate quickly!"

After hearing this, the deputy general didn't doubt anything, and stretched out his hand to order a soldier, "Open the city gate and let the prime minister's wife come in!"

As soon as the city gate opened, Jiang Linlang immediately yelled, "Drive!" and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the hidden guards.

Why are there so many patrol soldiers in Lin'an City?

Jiang Linlang looked at the patrolling soldiers on both sides of the street with vigilance.

When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she immediately got off her horse and rushed in.

"The butler!" The butler came up to him, and Jiang Linlang hurriedly said, "Hurry up, take everyone to the secret passage, hurry up, go as far as possible, don't come back!"

Received such an urgent order by Jiang Linlang, the butler was stunned for a while, and soon realized that something might have happened in the palace. Since the master ordered it so urgently, it must be very dangerous.

He was surprised and moved that Jiang Linlang didn't forget to notify them to retreat at this time.

"Ma'am, what about you and your lord?" He summoned a servant, told Jiang Linlang what to say, then looked at Jiang Linlang, and asked with concern and worry.

"Sanggong is waiting for me outside the city. When I come back, I will inform you to evacuate. It's not too late. Butler, you hurry up and take people away!"

Jiang Linlang glanced at the sky, and Ansi led someone understandingly, "Madam, let's go to the door and notify you as soon as there is any situation."

"Ah."

Fortunately, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all selected, not to mention their loyalty and high efficiency, and they were all gathered in a short while.

As for the secret path, Jiang Linlang heard from Rong Jue that the Prime Minister's Mansion had many traps, and in the trap in the garden where even her master would be trapped, there was a secret path in the rockery leading to the outskirts.

She led the housekeeper and servants straight to the garden, unlocked the mechanism first, and then led the people into the rockery. She directed everyone to enter the secret road, "Quick, follow!"

But the rockery is narrow, and only one or two people can go in at a time. Looking at the long queue behind, Jiang Linlang's face became tense and a little anxious.

"Ma'am, the imperial guards are here!" He hurried over with Ansi and the Ansi guards, and said to Jiang Linlang.

"Imperial Guards?" Jiang Linlang pursed her lips, "Quick, everyone!"

The boys quickly entered the secret passage, Jiang Linlang walked aside and asked the hidden guard, "How many people? Can you see who is leading?"

The hidden guard: "About a hundred people, the leader...not general Wenren, but a new face!"

Make faces!
Jiang Linlang was most worried.If it was Wen Rensheng, then based on Wen Rensheng's relationship with her, not to mention covering up, but he wouldn't do anything to her.

But for other people, the purpose of coming to the prime minister's mansion at this time is self-evident.

Whose order is it?emperor?Qi Lei?
"Stay at the door first, don't let them in, I'll come over after everyone has retreated!" Jiang Linlang frowned deeply, raised her hand and rubbed the space between her brows, don't panic, Jiang Linlang, don't panic, the more you At this time, the more you have to calm down!

She told herself that if it was Rong Jue, she would be able to calm down and handle everything well.

Pursing her lips, she watched the last servant also enter the secret passage, and threw him a burden, "Give this to the steward, and say that it is the silver taels that my lord and I have arranged for everyone. Take the money and everyone leave the capital , don’t say that you are from the prime minister’s residence!”

The young man was not very old, although he had always obeyed the arrangements calmly and obediently, but now, seeing their wife's calm and serious orders, he showed a bit of fear on his face.

"But ma'am. Most of us have no father, no mother, no home... Where can we live if we leave the capital?"

Jiang Linlang hadn't thought about this, she bit her lip, "The housekeeper will arrange it, and the money is a lot, enough for everyone to settle a house and an acre of Liangtian, and it's okay to do business—in short, don't come back!"

"Ma'am... Take care!" The servant nodded hastily, raising his hand to wipe away his tears, his eyes were red as he looked at Jiang Linlang's delicate face.

And when his voice fell, the neat "madam take care" came from the secret passage, and Jiang Linlang couldn't help but blush.

She smiled and waited for the boy to turn around.

Raising his hand, he shattered the mechanism of the secret passage with one palm, and with another palm, the gravel piled up, burying the entrance of the secret passage and the broken mechanism.

After doing this, Jiang Linlang tiptoed, jumped up, and rushed to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a few blinks of an eye.

An Si was holding the door with his dark guards, when there was a clamoring sound from outside to let the door open.

The leader even ordered someone to break open the door.

Seeing the dense sweat on the foreheads of the hidden guards, they gritted their teeth and persisted, but they definitely couldn't last long.

She gritted her teeth, "Open the door!"

Now surrounded by heavy soldiers, if you want to go out, the only way is...

The dark guard backed away, and the door was knocked open.

Some guards fell in without defense.

Jiang Linlang stood coldly at the door, looking at the imperial guards outside with cold and menacing eyes. When her eyes fell on the leader's face, her eyes flickered slightly.

This person...is not someone from Rong Jue, so is he from the Emperor?
"What is this for?" Her face was calm and cold, she glanced around at the guards holding weapons, squinted her eyes, and took a step forward, "Commander Wang, what's the use of bringing so many people to the Prime Minister's Mansion? "

Commander Wang also narrowed his eyes to look at Jiang Linlang, his eyes fell on the few pitiful hidden guards behind her, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

But he is also a good person, and he cupped his hands with a smile, "Prime Minister's Madam, I take the liberty to disturb you. I came here on orders from a lowly position, and invited the Prime Minister to enter the palace. I don't know, where is the Prime Minister now?"

"Oh? Come here on order?" Jiang Linlang quickly calculated a plan in her mind, and smiled coldly on her face, "Dare to ask, who is Commander Wang ordering?"

Isn't the old emperor dead yet?

If so, it would be bad.

Commander Wang looked inside calmly and took a step forward, but Jiang Linlang blocked his view.

Facing her unfriendly gaze, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and answer, "The order of the new emperor who is humbled!"

Xindi? !
Jiang Linlang's eyes flashed. There are only two princes sitting in the imperial palace. Something happened to the empress. If the emperor passed the throne on his deathbed...

"The new emperor? Is Commander Wang just joking?"

Commander Wang stopped laughing, "Are you kidding? Madame knows best - the late emperor passed away an hour ago, and passed the throne to His Highness Xiao Wang at the end of his life. Now that the new emperor is sending a message to the prime minister, I hope that madam will not interfere with the lowly official duties. "
